The U.S. government had dual policies toward Native Americans. One policy recognized Indian tribes as sovereign nations, making treaties with them for protection and support on reservations. The other policy aimed to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream society, leading to acts like the Dawes Act and termination of tribal governments.
